Served between 10 and 12°C, in a flute with a wide bowl or, even better, in a wine glass, this Champagne fully reveals its tension and mineral intensity.
For apéritif, it pairs beautifully with homemade crackers, seaweed chips, or savory parmesan and citrus zest sablés.
As a starter, its freshness and structure complement crunchy crudités with garlic sauce, black radish salad, or white asparagus with citrus vinaigrette.
Seafood flavors create an ideal harmony with this Champagne: sea bass ceviche, scallop tartare, grilled octopus with crunchy fennel, marinated shellfish, seared tuna cubes, or a fish carpaccio such as sea bream or scorpionfish, enhancing its saline elegance. Finally, among cheeses, it finds a perfect balance with an aged farmhouse Cheddar, Humboldt Fog, or Berkswell, all of which enhance its finesse and minerality.

The color, with its intense golden hue, heralds a wine at the beginning of its maturity.
The fine and elegant effervescence feeds a delicate cordon of mousse on the surface, adding a touch of refinement to an already inviting presentation, enveloped in a sense of serenity.

The first nose, open and generous, surprises with a maturity more advanced than its visual aspect suggests. Aromas of baked apple, cinnamon, and nougat emerge, enriched by a hint of melting caramel, evoking the expression of Meunier at its peak.
With aeration, the profile evolves: it gains freshness with vibrant notes of Reinette apple and grapefruit zest, which invigorate the whole, while the prolonged aging on lees reveals nuances of biscuit and a subtle touch of cocoa.
A complex and multi-layered nose that unfolds with time and temperature, inviting patience.

The attack, with its brilliant vivacity, surprises with its tension. Effervescence and freshness come together to shape a taut, chiseled palate, supported by a precise acidic backbone.
Notes of honey and baked apple soften this energy, while a fine salinity emerges midway through the tasting, enhancing the wine’s mineral intensity.
The overall impression is airy and fluid, yet well-structured, with a refined and compact texture reminiscent of the nobility of linen.

The finish leaves a distinctly mineral imprint. More saline than aromatic, it unfolds with beautiful persistence (6-7 seconds), marked by iodized accents and a chalky minerality that gives the wine a well-defined maritime signature.
A vibrant conclusion, rich in character.
